super blurry

[Mando]

is it just me or is this game extremely blurry?
i use dlss and sharpness on 10.

1440p 4070 r5600x 32gb ddr4 nvme m2 ssd

DLSS causes some detail loss and if you have dynamic resolution adjustment it might cause your gamer to go to 320p or so at times. Given that you have 1440p i assume its big monitor so picture will be stretched and blurred alot at those times.

If you have Dynamic Resolution on then turn it off.

dynamic resolution is off, its still blurry

I thought the sharpness was grayed out when you use DLSS 3 after the recent patch since it doesn't actually do anything?
You need to adjust the sharpness in the NVDIA Control Panel instead.

You probably have dynamic scaling on. It will reduce resolution to match your framerate target. Turn it off and reduce your target to 60.

i did reset the nvdia control panel.

i tested every single upscaler and found one setting that makes this game crisp even tho it doesnt makes sense to me

i set the framerate to 44.99fps and and used dlaa + frame generation, the game runs extremely smooth and crisp.

if i set the 44.99 to 60 or higher for example the game becomes super blurry for what ever reason.

xess1.3 quality looks better than dlsss quality, im pretty sure the recent nvdia update does not work as intended.

That really sounds like dynamic scaling is on, if a lower target fps made the image clearer. If you really turned it off, perhaps it didn't register. Try turning it back on, then off?

If that doesn't work. Perhaps try an integrity check. Or just completely deleting and re-installing. Delete the shaders too in appdata/local/squareenix/Final Fantasy XVI.

EDIT: While you're at it, read my post below first. There's something else you should do too, delete the config file.

If its not some type of error, and you really find the image just too blurry, how its intended. You could use DLDSR to render at higher internal resolution. You'll find it in the nvidia control panel, select 2.25 (at the very top) then change your resolution how you normal would to 4k.

There's a slider right under it (In the control panel) that controls sharpness, keep it all the way to the left. Since you're at a higher resolution, when you use dlss, go one or two settings below what you usually use, for performance reasons. You'll should still find improved image quality. The only thing I'm worried about with this solution is vram. If you find stuttering, try using legacy scaling instead, it still looks pretty good with dldsr on.


You could try turning sharpness up on your monitor or use reshade to add sharpness filter. There are lots of them to choose from. I heard from one person that reshade caused him performance issues, but I've been using it without issue.

But really it sounds dynamic scaling is somehow on.

turn down or off motion blurr i halfed mine

[iameatingjam]

Wait!!! One more thing, I found one more file that might be of interest to you. Its in Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XVI/steam/-long string of numbers-/config.xml. Delete that too.

I didn't see anything labelled dynamic scaling in there, but its still possible one of those flags controls it. Perhaps the one that just says "super resolution" but idk. Best bet is to delete it and have the game recreate it. If it doesn't, do that reinstall, which you should do anyway.

Also, you did disable all those effects in game like bloom and vignette, chromatic abberation, motion blur, all that stuff?

go for amd fsr 3.0 upscaler with native AA. it is so crisp as if you are LITERALLY on native

[StingingVelvet]

FSR is stupid sharp, to the point I put sharpness at zero and it's still way sharper than any other AA method. I don't really like the look of it, but maybe you will.

[Bad Distraction Carnifex]

Yeah it's a bit blurry. There's a few ways to solve this. Reshade, F3 filters on Nvidia cards, etc.

[I.T Drift]

Use FSR3, heaps better even with Nvidia

[C1REX]

I personally really like the sharpness of FSR3 in this game.
This game seems to be the first one ever to have better FSR implementation than DLSS.
